As you may have guessed, I watch the news…a lot. For inspiration, mainly, also to be informed, but that seems to require more and more work these days. The amount of potential ideas the political arena has spit out lately have come at a rate I can barely keep up with. Stranger than fiction has never been more true. The second season of The Twelve Shepherds is undergoing several changes as a result of all of this, and I apologize for this episode being late.

Being a writer involves much more than writing. The daydreaming and doodling and creating part are the best. The actual writing part can be both fun and aggravating, but mostly fun. I enjoy it immensely, and with the help of Bill (my assistant) I can now do it more and not spend as much time on the parts of the job which I enjoy less. But the other parts cannot be ignored. Writing is also very much a business and with that in mind one

And I do mean giant: over 1000 pages! Take that, Tom Clancy! I’ve just beaten your biggest doorstop by 300 pages! Victory is mine! Victory is mine! Victory is mine! “Didn’t Clancy die a few years ago?” Yes. My victory is over a dead man. Don’t ruin this for me. The message here is not that I beat Tom Clancy — even though I did — but it’s that you can get all of season one of The Twelve Shepherds in one

Yes, that’s Dayton on the cover. So grab it and see what’s happening! Is Number 6 free? Did the General survive? What did William do about the former Vice President? Where are Dayton and Anna at? This all gets answered in the first round of season two. Click here.

No, not giving any crystal ball like predictions or announcing the successful test of my time machine. Still working on that though, I’ll let you know. Just letting the world know that Episode 10 of The Twelve Shepherds is out and awaiting you at Amazon. It has all the stuff you’ve come to expect. Someone gets their ass kicked. Things are blown up. The good guys battle the bad guys and the evil guys and everyone thinks they are the good guys. It gets

Last night I managed, with the help of my awesome assistant, Bill, and my very understanding editor, Jaye, to publish Episode 9 of The Twelve Shepherds while attending a wedding at the same time. Adding to this amazing feat; there was an open bar. Those of you who know me are now doubly shocked. So, with pounding headache let me announce Episode 9. Available at your local Amazon. Someone in the UK, who obviously did NOT drink last night, has already read it and written

Episode Seven of The Twelve Shepherds came out today. I’d tell you more but we have to go see the wedding planner. If you should see me out in public today, and have any sympathy what-so-ever for your fellow man….hand me a drink. Maybe two. Or a whole bottle. Number eight next Sunday, if I survive today.

Some of you are jokingly…at least I think you’re joking…about the FBI coming to see me about the stuff I write. This conversation may or may not have actually happened. Knock-Knock. Me: “What!?” Unknown asshole at the door: “Mr. Wood? It’s the FBI.” Me: “Again? What do you want this time?” FBI: “It’s about your latest book?” Me: “What about it?” FBI: “We find some of the things you are saying to be similar to some people we’ve had a problem with in the past.”

Before I answer this question I’d like to say that Episode Five of The Twelve Shepherds is out today, available at you local Amazon.
